Preview: Figure Painting Demonstration

In this downloadable video artist Scott Waddell shares his form based approach to figure painting. This one hour video shows a painting process that took 18 hours to complete. Beginning with graphite on paper, Scott creates a preliminary drawing and demonstrates how he transfers this drawing to his linen. He then demonstrates a four stage painting process that includes a full color study, a complete underpainting, and a first and second form pass using oil paint. Throughout the video Scott describes his thought process and the artistic concepts he utilizes while working.
